Secrets Out - Chapter 2
So this is how Anxiety looks like with his wings
Drawn by me. Now let's get on with the story.
~Virgil's PoV~
I woke up and stretched, arching my back like a cat. I looked at my clock, 12, noon. I smiled, unlike the others, I don't have the same sleep schedule as Thomas. For the others, if Thomas falls asleep, they fall asleep. If Thomas wakes up, they wake up. I follow no such thing. That's the one upside of fighting demons. The others just think I'm able to do that because I'm a negative aspect. Which might be true, but I can't know for sure. Since I'm the only one that lives in the house and not anywhere else in the mindscape.
I hear knocking on my door. "You up yet kiddo?" Patton's voice asked.
"Yep," I responded. Pat decided to let himself in. He walked over to me.
"Thomas wants us for a video," Patton said. I looked at him, But we made a video yesterday!!
"Whyyy...?" I asked. Patton shrugged.
"Got no clue kiddo," Patton said. He grinned and pulled me up, dragging me out of my room. I groaned, wanting to be back in my bed. Pat dragged me to where Roman and Patton were waiting.
"Okay, Pat you might want to tell him you lied," Logan stated. I raised a brow at Patton. Roman sighed, shaking his head.
"Logan, see, no one likes a snitch" Roman sighed. I stood up quickly and crossed my arms.
"What's going on?" I hissed. Patton looked at me, then glanced at the others. Prince was staring at my shoulders, Does he know about my wings? No... that's... that's not possible... I started to panic, but I kept a straight face. Roman walked towards me. I glared at him, he didn't stop until he was right in front of me.
His hand shot out to my shoulder suddenly, I flinched as his hand came in contact with my shoulder. I glared at him. "What the f-"
"Language!!" Patton exclaimed. I hissed and stepped back and away from Roman.
"What is going on?" I growled and glared at each of them, especially at Roman. Roman cleared his throat.
"Where were you last night?" Roman asked, raising an eyebrow and walking towards me again. I backed up until Roman stopped.
"That's what this is about?" I hissed, narrowing my eyes. They each nodded. Logan pushed up his glasses.
"You see, Roman barged into my room last night in a panic and told me that he saw you walk out of the house. And that when he looked outside, you were gone. So we got Patton up, but we couldn't find you." Logan said. I wave of absolute panic and terror washed over me as I realized that Roman must have seen my wings. I looked at Roman, he nodded slightly.
I hissed at myself for being so stupid and turned around, opting to stalk over to my room once more. Before I reached the door I felt a hand on my arm, I turned around to see Roman holding my arm and staring at me intently.
"What do you want?" I hissed through clenched teeth. Roman said nothing and lead me to his room and locked the door. I crossed my arms and glared at him. Calmly, he walked behind me and placed an arm on my back. I flinched away, but he had already felt my wings.
"I knew it..." he mumbled. I glared at him. If my pride wasn't at stake I would have cried. I hissed and crossed my arms.
"There you know my secret. Can I go now?" I didn't ask him, more like aggressively showed my hatred to him. Also, I wanted to sulk and cry for being so stupid. Now that Roman knew, everyone would know. They wouldn't let me go without trying to help me. Roman quickly walked over to me and pushed me against the wall, he put his hands by my face, I blushed slightly but continued to glare at him.
"Why didn't you tell us, tell... me?" Roman asked me, his warm breath hitting my face. I scowled and looked away from him. He moved one of his hands to my cheek and made me look at him. I growled at him. "Answer the question," he said.
"Why should I?" I hissed at him. He took a deep breath and blew on my face as if he were trying to diminish a candle.
"So I can-"
"So you can help me?!" I pushed him off of me with strength I didn't know I even had. He looked shocked, to say the least. "That's exactly why I didn't tell any of you!" I yelled. Then I ran back to my room and locked the door.
I took off my jacket and let my wings unfurl. I don't know if I mentioned this, but the shirt under my jacket has cut out holes for my wings.
I stared at the feathery monstrosities on my back and scowled at them. I hated them. I don't care if 'hate' is a strong word! I have a very strong 'hate' towards them!
I sat down on my bed and wrapped my wings around me, at least they were warm. It seemed like they were apologizing. I debated whether or not to go to the dreamworld tonight. I honestly didn't want to, as they would try to stop me. But I had to, for Thomas.
... Did Roman already tell them about my wings? I hope not.
I hear a soft knocking at my door. I didn't respond. The knocking grew louder yet I still said nothing. Eventually, there was no knocking. I sighed and got up slowly and got my headphones before I played my music I set an alarm for when I should get ready to go to the dream world.
Then I put on my playlist 'The Reynolds Pamphlet' started to play... how ironic.
~Time Skip~
My alarm suddenly blared over the song. I shut the alarm off and took off my headphones. I got up and walked to the door cautiously. I opened the door and looked around, no one. But I knew better.
I bolted for the door and threw it open, instead of lifting off right away I ran into the shrubbery surrounding the house. I hid. And, just as I expected, Roman came rushing out. I stayed silent, but Roman kept looking. Eventually, I knew that I had to start flying, or else the nightmares would escape. So I crawled farther and farther away from the house.
Then I lifted off and flew to the dream world, fast as a bullet. When I got there, there were monsters waiting. I then remembered I had forgotten to take my bow and arrows. I only had my dagger. I whipped out my dagger and glared at all of them.
I felt something get pressed into my hand gently, I stole a brief glance at it, a black crown. My eyes came back to the monsters, now surrounding me.
They all lunged at me. I poofed as many as I could. I bet it looked like one of those cheesy fencing things in movies. One guy against so many monsters. I always thought the monsters were dumb.
But boy was I wrong.
They pushed me until I realized I was in the middle of a huge circle of monsters. One of the walked up to me and stabbed me in the side. I dropped the crown and fell down, wheezing with pain. The monster picked up the crown and put it on. It yelled something to the other monsters, then they all stormed out of the gates.
Weezing, I dragged myself out of the dreamland. I tried to call out to someone.
But black dots clouded my vision. Until all I could see was black. I realized four things.
1) I just released a nightmare into Thomas' consciousness
2)I got stabbed
3)I had put all the sides in danger
4) and I wouldn't be able to help them
